Comments on: The Survey Generation http://www.blackrimglasses.com/2006/06/26/the-survey-generation/ Music + Technology + Random Nonsense from the Music Industry by Ethan Kaplan, VP Product, Live Nation Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:55:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Three Tone Birds » Meet Token http://www.blackrimglasses.com/2006/06/26/the-survey-generation/comment-page-1/#comment-51977 Three Tone Birds » Meet Token Mon, 04 Dec 2006 02:03:21 +0000 http://blackrimglasses.com/archives/2006/06/26/the-survey-generation/#comment-51977 [...] I honestly never thought I’d ever be one to post a cat picture online. I don’t own a cat. I don’t consider myself a “cat person”. And, I’m usually pretty allergic. And yet, here I am, posting a cat picture. I’m still not sure if this is a good idea, but I’m going ahead with it anyways. Watch. The next think you know, I’ll be forwarding superstition laced chain letters to my friends, and filling out every survey that crosses my path on MySpace.

If there was one mistake, they assumed that the generation of kids actually knew what privacy was. And understood that data isn’t stationary. And understood how databases work. And understood that information in one place is information in MANY. But no, we have a generation of kids that think surveys are fun, that have no problem filling out every little detail of their life, and then wonder why their TA knew who they fucked the night before.

We’re in a world where the metaphorically difference between public and private has been eliminated by memes, surveys and demographic data assembled in to the notion of a social network. A world where the difference between snapshot and private photo is a flag on a photo service. A world where 15 year olds lip sync on web-cams before their parents come home, and post it for the world to see without consequence, thereby reducing ridicule down through sheer volume of possible sources.

I think people are definitely more at risk because of personal information they've voluntarily shared than information theft. When I was an information security officer in the Navy, the biggest threat we had to deal with was the leaking of unclassified information, not necessarily classified information. With enough unclassified information analyzed in the right way, an enemy would have far more information than needed to be a threat.
